Charles Darwin International PhD Scholars (CDIPS)
The aim of the Charles Darwin International PhD Scholars (CDIPS) Scheme is to bring together CDU supervisors and high-quality international students to work together in strategic areas for the university, to ensure timely completion of the Scholars’ PhDs degrees and publication of high-quality outputs during the candidature.
It is expected that the CDIPS will equip students with significant publication records before graduation to launch their careers.
This scholarship consists of tax-free stipends and tuition fee waivers.
- Each stipend will be approximately $30,000 per year (adjusted yearly) for 3 years, with an additional one-off $5,000 allocated to support part of the student’s medical insurance and relocation.
- Tuition fees of the PhD course (approx. $28,000 per year, adjusted yearly) will also be waived for 3 years.
The stipends and tuition fee waivers may be extended to 3.5 years, for students who demonstrate publication of high-quality research outputs prior to applying for an extension.
Interested applicants are to contact the supervisors listed in the projects.
